Sree Sreenivasan’s Post

Ali Velshi is our guest for the #NYTReadalong at a special 8:00am ET start time. He is an award winning journalist, host of "Velshi" and Chief Correspondent for MSNBC, and a weekly economics contributor to NPR's "Here And Now." In “Small Acts of Courage: A Legacy of Endurance and the Fight for Democracy,” which will be released Tuesday, May 7, he “taps into 125 years of family history to advocate for social justice as a living, breathing experience―a way of life more than an ideology.” We will be live at 8:00am ET / 12:00pm GMT / 5:30pm IST on Sunday morning on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram and our Digimentors website. If you miss the live show, you can always watch it later, on demand. Ali has covered multiple U.S. Midterm and Presidential elections and significant news stories around the globe, including extensive reporting from Israel during the war with Israel and Hamas, Ukraine and across Central and Eastern Europe during the Russian invasion, the Syrian refugee crisis from Turkey and Jordan, and the Iran Nuclear Deal in Tehran. He hosts the "Velshi Banned Book Club” on MSNBC, and the "Velshi Banned Book Club" podcast. Velshi is known for his immersive on-the-ground reporting and his interactive discussions with small groups, which form part of his ongoing series, Velshi Across America. He previously worked as an anchor and correspondent for Al Jazeera America and CNN. He has been nominated for multiple Emmy Awards, and is the recipient of two National Headliner Awards and a Society of Professional Journalists Sigma Delta Chi Award.

That's not Elvis and that's not me (nor was I Bill Clinton's chief speechwriter or executive editor of the NYT). In this week's newsletter (produced w/ Zach Peterson and Robert Anthony), I tackle AI mistakes, errors, problems that are being called "hallucinations." I hate that term! Featuring cameos by Zach Seward, Lauren Leffer, Pussy Riot and others. Please read and subscribe to the newsletter or the Substack version [ https://lnkd.in/gdmwqhr ]. Thanks for all your support!
